As house and energy prices continue to rise, and with the average one bedroom flat being the same size as a London Underground tube carriage, both consumers and specifiers are looking for solutions that not only help to maximise living space, but also answer aesthetic and performance demands.Russell Yates, Managing Director at AluK, comments: “We see growing demand for high performance flexible solutions that add a new dimension to homes, allowing homeowners to expand their living space.
